- 1 - I cannot format 720 k MFS floppies with DCFormat 3.02, for transverting
- (I always get a disk error);
- --------------------------------
-
- That portion of the code in DCFormat may not work correctly with the TT.
- Try formmating MFS disks in Spectre.
-
- --------------------------------
- 2 - I cannot get a full A3 Mac screen - the Mac does run on a 1280x800 screen,
- but it gives me 2 "squished" (and illegible) screens, side by side. In ST
- --------------------------------
-
- Unfortunately, Spectre does not support really big screens or color or any
- other special features of the TT's enhanced video or Crazy Dots for that
- matter! The reason for the screens has to do with the way Dave programmed it
- but he may allow larger BW screens in the next version of the software.
- Color support will more than likely be for the Falcon only since Dave has
- to plough through the 512k Roms to get color out, although I suppose
- Dave could make a 16 color version for the TT but that is unlikely since
- the Falcon Spectre works of the internal bus of the Falcon (this is because
- you just can't use 512k Roms off the Cart port because it only supports
- 128k of addressing!).
-
- Hope that helps!
